Yalobusha Brewing Co. - Mississippi

Sorry for the long radio silence!

We have been expanding our area and are now fully signed with distributors across the entire state of Mississippi.

Currently, we are draft only so that means we are only in bars/restaurants and a few growler fill stations.

Our bottling line has had a few issues, one of them major. The fill levels were never on par with what was acceptable to me. There was a 5-7mm variance across 100 bottles filled. So we have had all 40 valves replaced. Not rebuilt. All 40 are brand new valves. We should have them installed in the next couple weeks and the timing adjusted. I know many across the state want our beer available at retail and it has been my number 1 priority to get this line running asap. I am glad I see the light at the end of that tunnel!

We also have an agreement in place with a distributor in New Orleans. We are now waiting on the state to get the paperwork back and we will quickly move our draft product in.

Current Lineup includes:

River Ale - 4.8% abv 48 ibu 'extra pale ale'
This beer is a hybrid pale ale in which we use about 90% pilsner malt in the grain bill. It is a really nice hot weather beer.

Copperhead - 5.65% abv 65 ibu 'hoppy amber'
Our best seller thus far, we wanted to make an amber that stood apart from the other ambers in the region, so we added a pretty healthy dose of bittering hops.

Mississ-IPA - 6%abv 78 ibu obviously, india pale ale
Our goal here was NOT to make a hop bomb, but a balanced IPA that was brewed for our customers in the South that weren't looking for a beer that fights back, but something that was enjoyable but at the same time, complex.

Testify - 9% abv 20 IBU - bourbon barrel aged milk stout (limited release draft and bomber)
This is my favorite style of beer and a pet project for me. When I opened the brewery my goal was to create this beer and our head brewers really nailed it. We were going for something along the lines of 'Very Very Mad Cow' from Revolution Brewing in Chicago.

We also have a brown ale and a wheat beer that will be out this year.

The brewery is open for public tours on Friday afternoons, with start times at 4pm, 5pm, and 6pm.
They are free and we do have sampling of at least 4 beers on the tour.

Again, sorry for the long silence... and thanks for the huge support that has been given so far!

 

We are at Smith's in Corinth.
Are plan is to get our draft into New Orleans, let that settle a few months to make sure we have the capacity, and then the very next market will be Memphis. I'd guess right now that will happen in August/September.

 

Testify draft should be out within the next week. Bombers will follow closely behind.
Currently, since the bombers are VERY limited, we will only place them in craft beer specialty stores.

 

Thanks for the update from Joe's..

 

We will be shipping out bombers if your local growler shop runs out of draft.

Try The Smoke Stack in West Point and please request our beers if you don't see them!
